Does watching hard knocks make you miss Harrison more?

Sorry if I'm a little behind on these episodes if anyone is keeping up but I just watched the last few on demand on the great HBO hard knocks series. As I watched the episode in which they introduced James Harrison, just his personality, work ethic , and humor made me wish he was a Steeler this year even more. I get that he isnt the DPOY he used to be but he still is a top tier LB in the league in my opinion and really fit the blue collar mode we have in Pittsburgh. I really would of liked to see him finish his career in Pittsburgh and not go to that town in Ohio. But as I watched the episode from him chatting about hitting AJ Green, the licking he put on a FB and his distain for the cameras, it just made me wish he was a Steeler a little more this season and the rest of his career. Was just wondering if anyone else had the same reaction when they saw him on Hard Knocks.

Never challenge [URL="http://www.nfl.com/player/jamesharrison/2504844/profile"]James Harrison[/URL] to an arm-wrestling match.You wouldn't think this is something that needs to be said. But there was [URL="http://www.nfl.com/teams/cincinnatibengals/profile?team=CIN"]Cincinnati Bengals[/URL] rookie Jordan Campbell turning to the former NFL Defensive Player of the Year at a linebackers meeting and asking, "You want some too, James?"

Hard truth: [URL="http://www.nfl.com/player/jamesharrison/2504844/profile"]James Harrison[/URL] is not a man to be trifled with. And he'scertainly not a man you should challenge to a feat of strength that doubles as a test of masculinity.Especially if it's in front of "Hard Knocks" cameras.The result was obvious. I clocked Harrison crashing Campbell's hand to the table in 1.7 seconds.It's hard to make out exactly what Harrison screams after he is victorious. There seems to be an "I'm the g-- damn man now!" There's almost definitely a "You will learn to respect me!" Everyone in the room is laughing ... save for [URL="http://www.nfl.com/player/jamesharrison/2504844/profile"]James Harrison[/URL]. This was serious business.

Harrison stalked back to his solitary area in the meeting room, a character in [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqKqTHw0j9w&feature=youtu.be&t=2m50s"]"Over The Top"[/URL] come to life, his extreme alpha male status secure for another day.Never challenge [URL="http://www.nfl.com/player/jamesharrison/2504844/profile"]James Harrison[/URL] to an arm wrestling match. But you already knew that.
